Kirby vs Benito Mussolini: who would win in a fist fight?
Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Kirby
“The Pink Puffball” · Nintendo · 1992 · 0′8″ (20 cm), about 4 lb (2 kg)
Round pink hero of Dream Land who inhales enemies and copies their powers. Officially about 20 cm tall, and far tougher than he looks.
Benito Mussolini
“Il Duce” · Italy · 1883–1945 · about 5′7″ (169 cm), about 176 lb (80 kg)
Fascist dictator of Italy from 1922 to 1943 and Hitler’s ally in the Second World War. Deposed, rescued by German commandos, then captured and executed by Italian partisans in 1945.

The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Kirby by DQ. Mussolini, 149 cm taller, has to hit a target down around his shins, so he stomps. It's a foul. Kirby puffs up, floats to chin height and bops the bare-chested harvest poser. The referee disqualifies Il Duce in round two.
Fair fight? Make Mussolini box on his knees so stomps are impossible, and let Kirby keep his Fighter headband and its moves. Then the 78 kg gap becomes a real contest.
